Outside the electronic store a blonde-haired demon girl was watching both brothers and brooding. She could see the chaos: a demon with three arms and a demon so huge it made an ogre look small in comparison.

" There are two inside," the demon said. " One of them is overly cocky with their abilities. Shut your trap or I'll break your jaw, he says barbarously."

" Have they found the floodgates?" A demon with three horns on his head and eyes so sinister and red they could scare anyone who stared at them.

" I don't even think they'll both stop the demons protecting the perimeter. I find it wry how humans can be so afraid of demons. We're not the ones who create landscapes by wrecking peaceful islands. We don't mutilate everyone we touch. Are our floodgates in the form of a dimensional gate, sire?"

" Of course not. We don't have the kind of money that can create a hole large enough for every demon to come through. We only have idols that create a rift. Only the weakest levels of demons can crawl through it. But it doesn't matter how weak a combatant is as long as there's a army of them."

" Did I mention I hate you, sire?"

Ryan felt dead now standing under the abyss. He could only stare in silence at the big demon standing over his head. He desperately wanted to leave this morbid place. Pain resonated in Ryan's chest. If he was being battled by a demon like this what was happening to his older brother Shawn? Was he okay?

" Sorry, ugly, but this is where you and me say good-bye!"

Ryan whirled around and ran to the exit. Ryan had another pain resonating so suddenly. He lurched to the left as the demon behind him almost scratched his face off! Ryan dashed through the stairs and out the door. Ryan ran through some kind of battlefield; a big rotating ground. Ryan heard the sound of monstrous footsteps making their way down the stairs. He saw the demon, standing sturdy and robust, looking at him with ferocious eyes.

Ryan wasn't a boy who would back down from a fight. He ran to the demon without a second thought and raised his fist up to punch it. Ryan stopped from a cold chill ran through his spine. Where he was standing, Ryan lifted fist-size rock off the ground and threw it at the demon. The moment it made contact with the demon it dissolved.

" Lonely idiot," the demon said snidely. " My body acid has transgressed from its shell. My acid now waxes my entire body. Anything not made of the same element as my skin will instantly burn away."

" Oh great. If I can't use my fist than how am I suppose to fight this thing? I could use my Spirit Gun—no, I can't—I only have two shots left on the Spirit Gun and I don't want to waste my shots on this thing. I'll just have to dodge any attack he uses on me and look for a weakness."

The demon attacked. Ryan easily dodged the first move. The demon raised his right claw and attacked again. This time Ryan ducked. The creature raised his foot and stomped down to crush/melt Ryan's head. Ryan wasn't going to let his corrosive body touch him. He rolled away. He rolled to the edge of the stadium until he stood back on his feet.

" Why can't you people just die? It's not that hard. I've done it plenty of times before." Ryan heard a violent coughing noise coming from inside the demon's mouth. Ryan could only watch as the demon spat something out. The light was so dark it was hard for him to see. This demon was a collector. He didn't just kill anyone who came here. Ryan was staring at a human arm. " I leave the brains for dessert. The legs I eat first, the heart is an hors d'oeuvres, bones I just dissolve with my acid." The demon coughed violently again. Ryan was daunted by what the beast was doing. What body part would come out next? The beast pulled something small and round from its mouth. Eyeball. The demon was holding an eyeball. "But I can't eat the hands or the eyeballs. They're each different from the rest of your body parts. They are my mementoes of every foolish human whose ever tried to pick a fight with me. It's my charisma. I'm an unstoppable force heading towards you. I'm Tyki !"

Tyki raised his right hand up and a ball of acid emerged from his palms. The acid sloshed out of his hand as a hammer made out of his acid appeared and solidified into a three-ton killing weapon. With mighty strength Tyki raised the hammer over his head. Ryan could only cross his arms over his face…Tyki slammed the hammer down!
